Re: [Info Request] Codes instead of text

Well, I just tried repairing the game. Still had code. Then I tried removing the strings file and repairing it and now it won't start at all: I get an error box that says "Unable to start: Initialization error at startup. [135dec40:90f690cf:00000075]"

Re: Menu options bugged?

Is your game in english and if so, did you download any langauge files ?

Re: [Info Request] Codes instead of text

My game started again once I put back the strings file I'd moved, although it was still all code.

ETA: Well, I was curious and removed the strings file again and tried to repair the game. Then I had a look in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Data\Client and the file was still missing, so it looks like the 'repair game' function doesn't actually do anything to fix a missing file.
